  • Correct answer
    A
    to minimise the wear and tear of the roads
  • B
    to minimise the snow fall
  • C
    to minimise pollution
  • D
    to minimise the accumulation of dust on the road

Solution

In countries nearer to polar region, the roads are sprinkled with $\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}$ because $\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}$ decreases the freezing point of ice and therefore, minimise the wear and tear of the roads.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
